Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.33 cup Granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
• 0.5 cup Heavy cream
• 1 large Egg
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 cup Fresh blueberries
• 0.75 cup Powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoons Orange juice (freshly squeezed)
• 1 teaspoon Orange zest

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.

Step 3

Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

In a small bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, egg, and vanilla extract.

Step 5

Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and gently mix just until the dough starts to come together. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 6

Fold in the fresh blueberries gently, being mindful not to squish them.

Step 7

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Shape it into a thick 8-inch round disc and cut it into 8 equal wedges.

Step 8

Place the wedges onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown around the edges.

Step 10

While the scones bake, make the orange glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, orange juice, and orange zest until smooth and consistent.

Step 11

Allow the scones to cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheet, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 12

Drizzle the orange glaze generously over the cooled scones. Let the glaze set for a few minutes before serving.

Step 13

Serve immediately or store in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
